According to Wikipedia in the Features
Ning competes with large social sites like MySpace and Facebook by appealing to people who want to create their own social networks around specific interests with their own visual design,
choice of features and member data. The unique feature of Ning is that anyone can create their own social network for a particular
topic or need, catering to specific membership bases. At its launch, Ning offered several simple base websites developed internally
and by members of a closed beta. In late September 2006, Ning narrowed its focus to offering a group website, a photos website,
and a videos website for people to copy and use for any purpose. These three templates were later superseded by a single customizable
application aimed at enabling anyone to easily create their own social network. However, Ning does allow developers to have
some source level control of their social networks, enabling them to change features and underlying logic.
Feature modification was temporarily disabled on October 21, 2008. and the company will replace full source
control with the ability to bring in new features or change the logic of existing features via OpenSocial and a set of new
APIs to be relaunched in early 2009.
Ning has both free and paid options. When someone creates a social network on Ning, it is free by default and runs ads
that Ning controls. If the person creating the social network chooses, they can pay to control the ads (or lack thereof),
in exchange for a monthly fee. A few other premium services such as extra storage and bandwidth and non-Ning URLs are also
available for additional monthly fees.
Ning has also been used by educators in S-GI to conduct a book study on Curriculum Mapping. Many educators are using Ning
for developing educational resources.
